Malasyian Shadow Puppetry Talk

Malaysian Artist, musician, shadow puppeteer and senior lecturer in the music faculty with MARA University of Technology, Kamrul Hussin is visiting Nottingham as part of the Puppet Festival.

Kamrul has been involved with the development of the Nottingham based Gamelan Orchestra, Kayu Gangsa, and we are delighted to be showcasing the Orchestra as part of the Festival, as well as hearing more about the art of Shadow Puppetry from Kamrul.

Kamrul is delivering a guest lecture at Nottingham Trent University, exploring the art of shadow puppetry, and leading a simple shadow puppet workshop ending with a performance-showcase from one of the Ramayana Epic.

Nottingham Puppet Festival has been produced through a partnership between Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall Nottingham, City Arts and Nottingham Trent University. Nottingham Puppet Festival is supported through the National Lottery using public funding by Arts Council England and supported further by Nottingham City Council, Nottingham UNESCO City of Literature and Midlands3Cities.
